| As much as I dislike those high maintenance, need to be inspected at least annually, expensive, complicated aerobic systems (a miniature treatment plant in a box), I agree with the posters that it will more than likely be your best way out.
Depending on your state's laws, you may want, or be required, to take a class on how to run one. But if you can't put a leech field on your own property and you have to open yourself up to a Federal agency's whims, the aerobic system starts looking a lot better.
If you have to involve the Corps, they could fine you while you are waiting for their approval and their approval was the only thing holding things up. All sorts of horror scenarios are possible.
And don't assume if you get permission, that permission will stay forever. It could happen that Congress changes a law and bang, you are back to square one. Grandfathering really doesn't apply to much anymore. |
